    Question Looking to buy 2016 Mazda3 GT sport, advice?

    I saw the post on incentives, is there an 'expiry date'?

    I am also a current Mazda owner, would the math work out to something like this? (Considering 48 months 0%)
    car price - $500 finance stackable cash - $500 loyalty rebate + tax? (BTW. what's a good car price for a GT sport AT?)

    Anyone else got other additional incentives and willing to share? There's also a $500/winter tire credit banner on mazda.ca, how does that work?

    Thanks!

    Incentives are released on the 1st of every month. You have until October 31st then new ones comes out.

    The challenge here will not be the pricing...it will be finding one. We have a 2016 Mazda3Sport GT Luxury in our showroom. 1 of 1 GT automatics left in stock.

    You can choose Loyalty, conquest or tire credit. Each is a $500 rebate after taxes. You can only choose one.

    We would be more motivated to sell a 2016. So you could end up with a better deal. However, the base 2017 GT has dropped in price. Best bet is to price them both out, then make the call.

    A better decision would be to find one quick and lease one, for the next 3 days Mazda still has the $1750 Lease stackable on the 2016.. Will be gone on Tues.
    Damn you photobucket.....

    @pragmatic

    Did you end up getting your new car? Programs have changed quite a bit.

    Yeah, didn't know Mazda3 is in stock again.

    Just wondering though, if dealership couldn't find what was ordered, but told me they got it. Then it arrived as a 2017 model instead, do I have the right to walk out and get my deposit back?

    Read the paperwork you signed. When you put down your deposit it should have been with a contract that very explicitly stated what the car would be. If it's not to your liking or the price has changed you should be able to walk since it's not the same car. Deposit might not be returned though depending on circumstances. Read the paperwork.

    Had something similar happen to me - signed for my car without sunroof/fog packages, they got one with and tried to make me pay MSRP for the added options. Story changed fast when I told them I was coming to take my trade-in back.

    Be polite and don't be an ******* about it, but don't accept a bait and switch.

    That is not good and sounds super shady. What @Dubcee said. Whatever you signed up for is what they should be providing. There are some 2016's out there (we have a select few) but if its not in stock odds are the dealer won't find it.

    Read the fine print attached to your purchase agreement.

    Similar situation but I ended up signing. They had my ownership and refused to give it back saying the minute I signed up for 2016 the trade-in is effective and I don't own the car anymore. They also said they can deliver 2016 in 3 days, it's either I buy 2016 or 2017. They also "forgot" to give me copies of what I signed when I ordered the 2016. Every time I call they said they've submitted the docs and don't have it. I guess I've made every rookie mistake possible
    Oh, they also said all cars came with etching and tire hazard etc., and won't take those off.
